Need help installing Movable Type - 403 Forbidden

[russjr08]

Ok so I am trying to get Movable Type to work but I get a 403 Forbidden (even after setting attributes) at http://russjr08.x10hosting.com/cgi-bin/mt

To be exact here is the message

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/mt/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

here is what I did.

I put "mt" into the cgi-bin
then I put "mt-static" in the public_html folder
then changed all corresponding permissions


Now I am trying to get to installation but I can't. I know its supported (Search Function's Aid) but no one seems to be having my problem. If I am doing this wrong someone please tell me steps to install this.

Well its working now... Maybe something was down or something. Is there a way to mark this as "Solved" also this is the guide I used and it really helped, for anyone using the search function use this guide

I might need help later moving this to my new domain as its still with my old host and I don't know if I can drag and drop so... but I will post a new thread about that later.

When I was doing that it kept saying some kinda error but I can't remember.

Maybe it needed like 20 min to process. I don't know but its Initializing database right now

Edit:
Ok how long does "Initializing database" take? Its on "Upgrading table for Plugin Data records..." and its been about 30 minutes. Is this normal?
Update:
Im just gonna restart the process





Edit:
Ok We have hit a hard error....


Error during installation: failed to execute statement CREATE TABLE mt_template ( template_id integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY auto_increment, template_blog_id integer NOT NULL, template_build_dynamic tinyint, template_build_interval integer, template_build_type smallint, template_created_by integer, template_created_on datetime, template_identifier varchar(50), template_linked_file varchar(255), template_linked_file_mtime varchar(10), template_linked_file_size integer, template_modified_by integer, template_modified_on datetime, template_name varchar(255) NOT NULL, template_outfile varchar(255), template_rebuild_me tinyint, template_text mediumtext, template_type varchar(25) NOT NULL, template_current_revision integer NOT NULL ): Table 'mt_template' already exists at lib/MT/Upgrade.pm line 771.


I don't know if this is going to work out.

Go to cPanel, phpMyAdmin and delete all the tables that the first attempt created, then try again.

EDIT/ADD:

If you are still having problems, please include the version number of MovableType (so I might try to install it myself and see if I can find a solution).
